It's people like you that people like piccolo and me charge for electricity.

There's enough insanity in this thread to power a 100 megaton bomb.

Chuck Norris made a perpetual motion machine once, but then he found out that he could generate all the energy he wanted by himself.

[edit]

Threads don't generate energy by themselves, it's the magnetic charges in the hard drive where they're stored. :P

Personally, I hate Chuck Norris jokes that require Chuck Norris to be imperfect in order to work. Chuck Norris never made a perpetual motion machine, because he already knew he didn't need one!

Some things in this universe are just not possible. Like Chuck Norris jokes where Chuck Norris isn't perfect. Sorry, but the Law of Conservation of Chuck prevents it.

Well, Chuck Norris can divide by zero, after all... ;)

Consider the power (supplied by blood sugar) of a scientist writing a (correct) paper about the conservation of energy. Then consider the same for the guy who writes about the impossible junk on those pages. Where does that "energy" that's not writing something sensible go? If you answer heat, that applies to the scientist as well as the charlatan.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

I always wondered if you could use the property of water and its surface tension to slightly lift it. ie with very small tubes then extract it from the tubes and drip it down over some kind of turbine.

Plants do it, except that at the top of the tubes the sun evaporates a small amount causing a difference in pressure which sucks it up.

If it would be doable what you'd really be doing would be using nuclear energy which would eventually run out. But that could still be useful, plain water as a fuel.

That's an interesting idea.

I'm sure there's something wrong with it though, because everything interesting is doomed to be inconceivable. :'(

OT: Why is it that every time I see or hear the word "inconceivable" I think of a certain movie?

Could it be because my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father — prepare to die?

No its because you wear a silly mask and fight enemies with slightly humorous catch phrases.

I just designed this. It will revolutionise electricity generation in our lifetime.

You took the existing perpetual motion machine, that was driven from gravity, and put it in space? Brilliant!

You solved the problem of lifting the ball back up, but now how will the balls get down. You've brought the problem back all over again!
